Gastric bypass is not just a procedure for anyone who wants to lose weight; it is typically done for someone who is morbidly obese or has a serious medical complication from their weight such as Type 2 diabetes. The gastric bypass surgery technique limits food and keeps it from being absorbed completely. Gastric bypass surgery is recommended when a person has a BMI of 35 and above and suffers from obesity-related disorders.

Hernias occur when tissues break through an opening in your body and get moved from their inherent position. Lifting heavy objects, suddenly jerking your body, violent coughing, sneezing strenuously or engaging in any activity that exerts extreme pressure on the organs of you body, can all contribute to the formation of a hernia. The thin membrane covering your organs and surrounding tissues breaks, causing a bump to develop at the site of the hernia. While hernias are one of the most common conditions ailing the population, hernia repair is one of the most common surgical procedures performed at New Jersey Advanced Surgical Solutions.

The gallbladder is an important organ. Sometimes, the digestive fluids in the gallbladder harden and become like stones. These are called gallstones and they are extremely painful for the person who has them. Obstruction of the bile flow by gallstones in the gallbladder or bile ducts causes abdominal pain, and nausea following meals and can lead to severe infections and inflammation. Gallbladder surgery can be either the removal of the gallstones from the gallbladder or in more severe cases, the removal of the gallbladder itself.
